Everyone feels angry sometimes. But how do we know when that anger is a problem?
So many people struggle with managing their anger in a healthy way, and it’s so important that you find a way to cope and find a source of support. Getting angry doesn’t make you a bad person; it’s a complex emotion that needs communicating and expressing in a healthy and productive way, and that can be a difficult thing to learn how to do.
Today is National Bereaved Parents Day. Organised by A Child of Mine, it’s an opportunity to raise awareness of parents and caregivers who have lost a child. By sharing our stories and keeping the conversation going we continue to show the bereaved parent community that they are not alone.
To help us carry on this important conversation, we speak to Dr. John Wilson, Director of the Bereavement Service at the Counselling and Mental Health Centre, who shares his experience and perspective.
Too often it’s the case that Dads’ mental health is overlooked in the challenging months after welcoming a child into the family. There has been research into same-sex and adoptive parents experiencing depression in the post-partum as well, but these situations often go under the radar. Fathers’ Mental Health Day is setting out to change this worldwide, and provide father figures everywhere with the information, resources and support needed to maintain positive mental wellbeing.

It’s Mental Health Awareness Week and the theme this year is #ConnectWithNature. So many of us have turned to nature in the long months of the pandemic, so for this weeks blog we wanted to talk about the importance of taking time for yourself, and the way that spending time outdoors can be such a hugely positive influence on the mind and body.
In recognition of the end of Maternal Mental Health Awareness week, we invited our own resident parent and families expert, Dr. Sylvie Simmonds to give new parents in the community some advice.
This week is Maternal Mental Health Awareness Week, so we asked parents “What do you wish you had known before becoming a parent?”. Whether you’re expecting, a new parent, a foster parent, or a legal guardian feeling in need of some advice, here is a list of guidance from real people who have been where you are now and come through the other side.
Welcome to our brand new blog! The Counselling and Mental Health Centre have been working hard to start creating regular content for you, and we are so excited for you to see it and to hear what you think.
